Have fun with that, I'm sure it'll be fine. If he does it'll most likely be dead in the water. His fanboys wouldn't give up their MacBooks to run a Linux operating system anyway, they're all about being coddled and told what to like.

I mean most of those are replacing platforms from meta and Twitter with fediverse based platforms but that's not the point.
That last part is a huge bonus. It's creepy how much information the get from watching your consumption habits. Imagion how many times you've stopped to look at an ad of something you were interested in just to see if it's on sail or something.
Not even interacting with the ad they can gauge interest in certain categories let alone the product itself.
Then he pushes his company AI on Ubuntu and tries to get people to use it.
My new steam deck will compliment my Linux desktop nicely!
It's so hard to find populated hashtags though. I wish there was more discourse on mastodon but it's just people shouting into the void.
I love the enthusiasm but it's funny to say posting to a platform that makes copies on other servers and opens up APIs that make it very easy to scrape and build a profile with a little scripting has any privacy.
It's still better than meta or Twitter but your not private on these platforms. The companies that might make accounts to advertise from can easily be blocked and need to try harder to actually get your attention.
Just be weary AI and ad companies are probably already scraping these platforms and it's thanks to the open nature and the inherent flaws of modern monolithic social media design.
Weren't are nukes controlled by IBM series/1 systems and floppy discs until 2019. They said they upgraded to a highly secure solid state system. They might be still using those computers for some parts of the system because “You can't hack something that doesn't have an IP address. It's a very unique system — it is old and it is very good.”
Someone's gotta make toxic sludge!
It's fun playing with local AI stuff. I've been playing with piper-tts and it's fast on a modern system.
It's not gonna fix my 5900x taking off like a jet engine when I launch 100 JavaScript heavy web apps.
Frickin love RSS feed. I've actually gotten bad about populating it with my favorite YouTubers and the git projects I've been following lately. Plus archlinux news updates of course.
I use feeder though, it does the job but it doesn't pull the websites directly.
